[ecrea] New book: Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice

Thu Aug 16 09:39:06 GMT 2018







I am happy to announce that my book **Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice** is out now on Rowman & Littlefield as part of the series Frontiers of the Political.

/Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice/provides a conceptualization of citizen journalism as a political practice developed through analyses of an historical and postcolonial case. Arguing that citizen journalism is first and foremost situated, embodied and political rather than networked and technology-based, the book offers a grounded analysis of the colonial newspaper, /The Herald/, published in St. Croix (Virgin Islands) 1915-25 by a descendant of enslaved people and independently of the colonial ruler, Denmark.

The analysis is informed by Deleuze and Guattari’s approach to knowledge production and formulates a critical reading of citizens’ and subjects’ mediated political engagements then as well as now. The book discusses current approaches to citizen journalism before turning to /The Herald/, which is then read against the grain in an attempt to show the embodied politics of colonial history and cultural forms of citizen engagement as these politics evolve in this particular case of journalism
